The trek to the "healing waters" of Lac Ste Anne was an especially significant one this year with special homage being paid to the coming canonization of North America's first-ever Aboriginal, Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha.

There are shrines to Blessed Kateri in the Mohawk Valley--the national Shrine of the North American Martyrs, the national Kateri Shrine on the American side of the border and the Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha shrine in Kahnawake, where Kateri's tomb can be found.
